FAQs
What type of activities are the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for everyday casual wear, walking, light exercise, and commuting, thanks to their superior cushioning and responsive feel. While comfortable, detailed performance characteristics for intense athletic training are not specified.
How should I clean my GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water for mesh and synthetic leather areas. Air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While providing excellent cushioning and responsiveness, the GEL-KINETIC FLUENT is designed with a blend of retro style and modern comfort for general use. For serious or competitive running, ASICS offers other specialized running models. Info needed: Specific performance metrics for competitive running are not provided for this model.
What is FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?
FF BLAST PLUS ECO is an advanced, lightweight cushioning technology from ASICS that delivers a soft, energetic, and responsive underfoot experience, enhancing comfort and energy return.
What is Scutoid GEL technology?
Scutoid GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide advanced shock absorption and impact attenuation, ensuring a smoother transition and enhanced comfort during foot strike.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, or consult the ASICS size guide if purchasing online. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT features a cushioned midsole design that provides inherent support and comfort. However, if you require specific arch support due to pronation or other foot conditions, you may consider using custom orthotics or insoles.
What materials are used in the upper part of the shoe?
The upper features a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic leather overlays. This construction provides a balance of ventilation, support, and durability, drawing inspiration from 2010s running designs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your sizing to ensure it's correct. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Consider wearing them for short periods to break them in, or try different socks.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, the outsole might be rubbing on a slick surface, which is normal.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use.
Sole feels less cushioned over time.
Cushioning materials can compact over extensive use. While FF BLAST PLUS ECO and GEL technology are durable, regular wear will eventually lead to some compression. Ensure you're not exceeding the intended use for the shoes. Replacing them after significant mileage or wear is often the best solution.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: For mesh and synthetic leather, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Drying: Never put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight.
